Country Definitions

This here’s where you’ll find every slang word, saying, and turn of phrase we’ve got so far. Some you might’ve heard from your granny, some you might’ve heard hollered across a field, and a few might be brand-spankin’ new to you.

It’s not the biggest list yet, but it’s growin’ every week - and each definition comes with the real meaning, a bit of the backstory, and the way folks actually use it. If you know one we ain’t got, send it along and help keep this language alive.
